Article Synopsis
  • The study explores advanced measurement techniques for understanding high-temperature air plasma during hypersonic flight testing.
  • The researchers utilized multiplex nanosecond CARS to obtain temperature readings in a plasma plume created by an inductively coupled plasma torch, achieving some of the highest temperature measurements recorded with this method (up to 6700 K).
  • Key findings include improved detection capabilities using an intensified CCD camera, allowing for single-laser-shot measurements at extreme temperatures and detailed temperature profiles and precision data, which could enhance future hypersonic technology development.
